You must always pay attention to how you are feeling…all day long.  Checking in with your emotions once or twice a day is not enough.  In the Law of Attraction, your thoughts are your engine and your emotions are the fuel to get you where you want to go.

Yes, it is simple.  Will this take practice? Yes, more than you think.  Your prosperous results are worth the few seconds (literally) it will take to have present moment awareness and then shift the way you feel if it’s not good.

Fuel UP, baby!

The reason Twitter has taken off is pretty easy to figure out: with more and more information coming at us each day, quick and easy nuggets of communication are becoming the preferred method. This is trickling down to how we speak about our businesses and what skills and results people associate us with.

The majority of my clients are experienced business owners, many of them marketing experts and highly skilled business coaches. They’re not newbies to online marketing and they’re masterful at what they do.

“In everyone’s life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.” -Albert Schweitzer

We all need to be doing what we are passionate about and love each day.  If we’re not happy to get out of bed in the morning because we’re excited about the day ahead then something needs to be changed.  Usually it’s the way we are thinking however sometimes that can be solved by just talking to a friend, a colleague, your partner or maybe your coach.

From time to time we might feel tired and the fire gets dampened however always remember you have a choice, it doesn’t have to stay this way.  Take back your power, stoke the fire and keep moving forward.

As you know I attended Video Magnetism School recently. Here are a few things I learned:

1. Getting a video done trumps doing it perfect every time - thank goodness for that
2. The light source should be in front of you and catch the light in your eyes
3. Catching the right light outdoors can be tricky until you figure out the best time of day to shoot

The people I attract in my business span a wide range of services. You may coach business leaders to a more people-centered vision, or help parents create more loving relationships with their kids, or offer holistic health solutions to cancer survivors, or lead creative women to more fulfilling lives, or you may have some other calling altogether.

But what’s true for each of you is that in your heart of hearts, you know you’re here on this planet to impact other people’s lives with your special brand of transformation.

Everyone loves a surprise and you can certainly delight your clients and prospects if you surprise them once in a while.

If you’ve been building a mailing list that includes the regular postal address for your clients and prospects it is very easy to send them a surprise. (Email just doesn’t have the same effect.)

Some ideas: a gift certificate during the off-season, a useful premium with your name on it (like a pen or bookmark), a greeting card, a thank you note, a birthday card, an anniversary card, a gift card, candy, brownies, goodies of all kinds.

One of the questions I’ve often asked is “What should I post on Twitter and Facebook”?

While there are several things you can post (check out my post on How to Become an Expert Using Content here) on Twitter and Facebook, the simplest of all is to let your friends and followers know when they’ve helped you in some way.

Rather than send a private “direct message” on Twitter, openly thank or congratulate someone for something they’ve done.

In this video Lisa Rae Preston and I discuss how to create a thriving fan base that gobbles up everything you have to offer. It examines the success of romance novelist Marcia Lynn McClure and her old fashioned romance novels as an example of personality driven marketing.

If you’re struggling in your business; it isn’t growing as fast or in the way you want it to, you’re feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, or just plain disillusioned with the whole solopreneur lifestyle, then I can guarantee you that the problem isn’t:

• a lack of clients
• a lack of subscribers to your list
• or a lack of business know-how

The problem is simply a LACK OF SYSTEMS.

Without systems in place you will very quickly become overwhelmed and frustrated, and be left wondering if your business is ever going to succeed!  No matter how hard you try you can never seem to get organized and clients/projects/work (you name it) are slipping through the cracks.
